Review for Shakespeare & Company, Inc., Lenox, MA, USA
Shakespeare & Company has brought thoughtful, understandable productions of the Bard's plays, of Edith Wharton adaptations, and of many contemporary works to audiences in The Berkshires for over 30 years. The audiences know they are going to experience something fresh, alive and relevant when they come to S&Co. More importantly, S&Co has influenced many generations of youth through their schools programs and through teacher training. Through the many teachers they have trained -- either in weekend session or month- long intensives -- they have rendered Shakespeare's plays more accessible to secondary and elementary school students. They have made a difference in our world.
More Feedback
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
the way I now teach Shakespeare, acting and voice to undergraduate and graduate actors-in-training. I am a far more effective teacher and trainer because of my history with S&Co.
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
endow it so that the prices could be lowered even further, making it more accessible to many more people.
